One thing that I've learned is that most of the food I can't eat any more, I shouldn't be eating anyway.

(Yay I guess.)

Places like Winchells have several usually with apple, cherry, blueberry. They also have seasonal ones at times. (pumpkin) Winchells aren't the greatest place for fritters, but they do make lots of them.

We haven’t had one in Arizona in ages.

100% agree. A hot Apple fritter I dare someone to name me something better.

Cherry fritter is a close second.

There is one on Main Street and maybe Country Club?? in Mesa.

A Google Search found one at 1345 W McDowell Rd, Phoenix, AZ as well.

Long gone bud. I grew up by the one in Mesa.

There’s a documentary called Donut King and part of it is about how a bunch of Asian immigrants used the Winchells training program to learn the business and then they pretty much killed them.

I'm more upset with your choice of doughnuts. How old are you, nine?

In Orange County there are essentially no more donut chains anymore. All singly owned Asian donut shops.

The National Apple Harvest Festival in Biglerville, PA has insanely good apple fritters too. We used to go every year. They made absolutely anything where an apple was involved.

When I coached boys high school soccer at The Milton Hershey school we would bring Hershey bars down to Biglerville when we played there and they would bring apples when they played us in Hershey. Our season was in the Fall so it worked out nicely.

I'd be interested to know where that is.

Nine and a half.

the one on McDowell closed in the early 80's and reopened under a different name, can't be the same one.

Rainbow donuts by where I live, 47 and Olive, is Asian owned, meh and not a very big selection, the times I went in there!

This is an outrage. I hope the team can hold it together.

There’s a great family owned Donut shop in the York, PA area called Maple Donuts. It has completely made Dunkin Donuts irrelevant. My son went to school with the owner’s grandson & whenever we had a sleepover with the kids, we always somehow ended up with dozens of free donuts.

I don't know whether to "Like" this, "Laugh" at this, or "Sad Face" this.

No Dunkin or Krispy Kreme?

Lol of course there is.

But also plenty of asian shops. It's a tough business, they go in at like 2-3 a.m

I always went to the one in Etters right off of I-83. Their donuts were ginormous and tasted good too.

Huh, neat. When given the parameters, I never, ever would have guessed it was in Texas.

I would have bet on NE PA being one of the oldest Polish settlements, however I checked and the first Polish settlement was in Luzerne county in 1868 in the town of Nanticoke. For those that may have an interest, here is a link to the Polish settlement in PA and a bit on Polish coal miners. Having grown up in the area I always had an interest in it's history and particularly the coal mine industry.

Polish Miners in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania

Also a link to one of the biggest mine disasters and the one that started the decline of King Coal in the area. The video is 5-1/2 minutes long.
